From the author of The Last King of Scotl&, author Giles Foden tells the unlikely true-life story of a group of 28 soldiers dispatched from Britain during World War One with order to wrest control of Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa from German warships. To reach it, the soldiers had to haul two motorboats with the unlikely names of Mimi & Toutou through the wilds of the Congo. The 28 were a strange bunch -- one was addicted to Worcester sauce, another was a former racing driver -- but the strangest of all of them was their skirt-wearing, tattoo-covered commander, Geoffrey Spicer-Simson. Whatever it took, even if it meant becoming the god of a local tribe, he was determined to cover himself in glory. But the Germans had a surprise in store for Spicer-Simson, in the shape of their secret `supership`, the ‘ Graf von Gotzen’. Unearthing new German & African records, Foden’s work has been described as Fitzcarraldo meets Heart of Darknessand rich, vivid & ‘flashmanesque’ in its appeal – this is military history at its most absorbing & entertaining. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
